SAM GUI FROM CDE

[Andrew Luis Arruza]

I have just setup a new A500, with HP-UX 11.00 on it.
When I try to use the GUI SAM I am able to get the CDE menu bar, I can go into the Application Manager and I can click on System_Admin and the Sam icon comes up, but when I click on that the screen goes back to the menu bar.
I can successfully bring up Sam from the command line.
I suspect my TERM or the .dtprofile or the .profile is not correct.
I am in as root and my term is set to dtterm.
Never seen this before and any/all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Andy

Hi andrew,

Try exporting your Display,

export DISPLAY=workstation_ip:0.0

Hope this helps.

Copy /usr/dt/appconfig/types//hp.dt to
/etc/dt/appconfig/types//hp.dt

Replace by the language you are using, e.g. C or de_DE.iso88591

- Edit /etc/dt/appconfig//hp.dt
Locate the Sam action:


ACTION Sam
{
LABEL Sam
TYPE COMMAND
WINDOW_TYPE NO_STDIO
EXEC_STRING /usr/bin/ksh -c ' PATH=/usr/bin/X11:$PATH; ...
}

Correct the line setting PATH:


False: PATH=/usr/bin/X11:$PATH; Correct: PATH=/usr/bin/X11:\$PATH;

After restarting the CDE session you're able to start SAM from the CDE
application manager.

Problem is known as JAGad54229.
